Keynote Presentation
Documenting Underground Culture in the DC Punk Archive
"It's the free space. It's a spot where new ideas can be presented without the requirement of profit, which is what largely steers most sorts of creative offerings in our culture." - Ian MacKaye defining "punk"
This definition of punk as free space could as easily be describing a public library. Part of DC Public Library's mission is being a community space that is free and open to all, one that fosters creativity and learning, and also one that emphasizes preserving local history and culture. The DC Punk Archive project launched in 2014 to support these elements of library's mission by collecting materials that document the past 40 years of local independent music. Community engagement was an essential part of the project from the start, involving members of the local music community in planning, recruiting volunteers, hosting programs such as punk shows in the library basement featuring new local bands. Staff from DCPL will discuss how this community-driven approach to a collecting project has been essential to its success and has brought the collections and the stories they contain to life, loudly.

Watch the 7-minute preview for My Shy Boss
It feels like torture having to wait three more days until the premiere of the cute romantic comedy My Shy Boss (aka Introverted Boss), starring Yeon Woo Jin and Park Hye Soo, but at least we have a fun 7-minute preview to tide us over!
When a young, energetic employee joins a public relations firm with an introverted and severely misunderstood boss, she makes it her life's mission to show the world who he really is.
Eun Hwan Ki (Yeon Woo Jin from Marriage Not Dating and A Divorce Lawyer in Love) is the boss at a public relations company. Even though he is at such a highly-regarded position, Eun Hwan Ki is still really shy. So shy, in fact, that even his employees don't know him that well. When they try to talk to him, he averts his gaze and doesn't say hello, instead preferring to hide in his office and avoid human contact. Eun Hwan Ki is just introverted, but everyone thinks he is a cold, prickly, arrogant grouch. They call him the "Silent Monster" and he is genuinely hurt that they see him that way, but is unable to change himself.
Chae Ro Woon (Park Hye Soo from Age of Youth) is a recent hire at the same company. She is energetic, bubbly and gladly breaks into dance in the middle of the street. She loves to be the center of attention and always has something to say. This quality of hers, in fact, makes people think she is too opinionated and confrontational. In short, she is the exact opposite of her boss, who she seems to have an old grudge against. And she takes his "rude" behavior as a personal directive. Chae Ro Woon sets her eyes on Eun Hwan Ki and now has one goal in life: expose the big boss man for who he really is and take her revenge.
Eun Yi Soo (Gong Seung Yeon from Master: God of Noodles and Six Flying Dragons) is a chaebol heiress who has been engaged for three long years. Like the boss, she is also incredibly introverted. However, even though she can be a legitimate celebrity, Eun Yi Soo has no desire to stand out or be the center of attention. The same firm also employs Kang Woo Il (Yoon Park from Age of Youth), co-boss at the company. He, unlike his partner, is warm, sensitive and well-liked.
From the writer/director team behind hit romantic comedy Another Oh Hae Young, My Shy Boss is coming exclusively to DramaFever on January 16! Add it to your queue now!

"Find a technical skill that is a hard skill, and get good at it. Get really good at it."
Johnny Harris came to BYU intending to study film. He majored in media arts his freshman year and hoped to enter the world of cinematography, until an LDS mission changed his plans. The two years he spent in Mexico had a profound effect on the way Harris viewed the world–in that he more often and more actively looked at the world.
"That [mission] shifted my paradigm about international stuff, and I got more interested in international fields like foreign service and international work, so I came back and gave up my dream of being a filmmaker, I thought."
Though making a sacrifice to be more "serious" about the future by changing his major to international relations, Harris enjoyed his coursework. He fondly remembers his political science courses like comparative politics and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, which pointed him to his current focus area: Iran. But he still felt a draw to cinematography.
"I couldn't get rid of my interest in visual communication. I had always been interested in having a camera, making art, being a photographer and cinematographer."
So, unlike most college students strapped for time, Harris took on freelance work outside of school. He built a portfolio of projects he forced himself to do during limited free time, giving himself hard deadlines and rounding out his filmmaking ability. The work was difficult, but he enjoyed it. For students learning and mastering a technical skill, Harris advises, "Make sure that you want to get good at it."
After graduation, Harris went to Peru to complete research for his second Orca grant, but had no job to return to in Washington, DC. On a whim, and to fulfill a lifelong desire, Harris emailed chefs in DC who ran professional kitchens for the chance to audition and work for them, which he did. After a short time he found an opening at a government agency that wasn't a dream job, but would help improve his skillset.
Then he got a break. Though, again, he hadn't found his dream job, after several months at the agency, a position to make short videos opened up at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
"It was kind of like a boot camp. I just pumped out a ton of work," Harris said of his time at the think tank. "I truly believe that putting yourself in a position where you are forced to put out a lot of work is essential for getting where you want to be."
And after about a year, he was ready to take another step toward where he wanted to be. Harris felt his skills and perspective would work well at Vox, and he was confident enough to pitch his portfolio. So he did. He says, "The first time I reached out to Vox they full-on didn't respond, and denied me essentially." But he wasn't deterred. Six months later, he cold-pitched again to Vox, and this time they agreed that he was a good fit.
Harris' mastery of a difficult communicative skill (videography) outside of his area of study set him apart, preparing him to be an asset to organizations that few others could replicate. But almost more than that, he chose to chase jobs in a unique way–reaching out to people at organizations where he felt his skills would be a good fit, instead of always waiting for formal application processes. Both practices have led him to fulfilling work, and he recommends students looking for jobs to find their good fit and look for the people who can get them to it.
"When I got jobs [I didn't always have] mutual connections, it just meant I always reached out directly. I would be blunt and bold about it. Every job that I've gotten has been a matter of connecting with a person."
Johnny Harris is a multimedia generalist who specializes in international affairs. He currently is based in Washington, DC where he makes web videos for Vox.com, reporting on interesting trends and stories around the globe. Johnny's visual style blends motion graphics with cinematic videography to create content that explains complex issues in relatable ways. He holds a BA in international relations from Brigham Young University and an MA in international peace and conflict resolution from American University.

Alright, Trim Healthy Mamas, show of hands- who here has dealt with a "picky eater"- maybe even a "problem feeder"? It's incredibly frustrating! So when said child shows interest in something NEW you make it happen, by golly!
Just now my older daughter, the one who has been our borderline problem feeder, asked for a smoothie like mama. But she wanted it to be vanilla, and like a milkshake. And I knew it had to taste amazing for her to try it and have a chance she would like it. I also wanted to be certain I loved everything that went into it in case it becomes a fixation (generally when we love a food, we LOVE it until we hate it, also known as a "food jag"). No pressure.
I decided I would keep it on the thinner side for consistency by only adding 4 ice cubes but you could add as many as you like for the right texture (with sensory issues with food you tend to tread lightly and adjust 😉). I also decided the best base for my choosy girl would be local, grass fed, unhomogenized whole milk to add to the nutritional profile. I didn't want to make this shake too big so I only added 8 ounces. Next time I will probably do even less for her because it was still much more than she could drink by herself (she is 3.5 years old).
Obviously whole milk makes this drink a crossover for Trim Healthy Mamas (THM). I intend to trade the whole milk for almond milk and half and half when I'm making it for myself, which would make it an "S" (satisfying) depending on how much half and half is added.
I wanted to add some protein, again for added nutrition. I used about a half scoop of plain whey protein to do that, but any plain or vanilla protein powder or collagen could work, I believe. Then I knew I needed to cover up the flavor of that protein so I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a teaspoon of caramel extract (no one tell her caramel is in there, k thanks!). To sweeten everything up I added about one dropper of Trader Joe's stevia drops.
Blended that bad boy up in my amazing Kitchenaid blender. VOILA, it's freaking delicious, y'all! Obviously I'm telling the truth because my child drank hers up and asked if she can have another tomorrow.
That's what we call a WIN around here! So enjoy this impromptu little recipe and let me know if you liked it and how you tweaked it down in comments ☺

Colin Kaepernick/Jim Harbaugh/Trent Baalke/Greg Roman/Vic Fangio/ Jim Tomsula/Michael Lombardi; Richard Sherman/Michael Crabtree; Mike Montgomery/Johnny Dawkins
AS THE 49ers lick their wounds over their crushing loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the question is, have they peaked? My answer is yes. In this period of the salary cap, teams have a small window of opportunity and I think that noise you heard is the 49ers' window closing. One reason is that they can't keep this team together. Another is the crushing injury to linebacker Navarro Bowman, a great playmaker who won't be able to play again until mid-October and won't be at his best then.
But the biggest reason is that Jim Harbaugh's faith in Colin Kaepernick was misplaced. It's easy to see why Harbaugh liked Kaepernick because he is very talented, but his mindset is not that of a championship quarterback.
The local writers seem to love him; Ann Killion is the only Chronicle writer who has had any misgivings, though Kevin Lynch has had good analyses on SFGate. Otherwise, everything I've read praises him because the new wave of writers thinks it's important to throw the ball 50 yards down the field. They're too young to have seen Bill Walsh's 49ers with Joe Montana throwing short, accurate passes to Dwight Clark, Jerry Rice, John Taylor, Brent Jones that were turned into big gains when the receivers ran with the ball. And, in the four Super Bowls the 49ers won with him at quarterback, Montana didn't throw an interception. Neither did Steve Young in the one he won.
Kaepernick is nothing like that. He loves to throw the ball far downfield, and he's made spectacular plays that way. He also threw two fourth quarter interceptions, the last on the final 49ers play of the game, that cost the Niners the chance to move on to the Super Bowl.
He's young but he's actually been in the league a year longer than Russell Wilson, the Seattle quarterback. Wilson had his problems in Sunday's game, too, with two fumbles, but he didn't throw an interception. I believe he'll continue to grow as a quarterback.
I'd like to believe that Kaepernick will but I doubt it. He enjoys the role of gunslinger and rebel, not wearing long sleeves in the cold in Green Bay because that would cover up his tattoos. He's stubborn and won't change his ways. In last year's Super Bowl, he threw three times to Michael Crabtree in the end zone. Having scouted him, the Ravens knew his tendencies so they triple-covered Crabtree, so all three passes were incomplete.
You'd think that would have taught Kaepernick a lesson but apparently not. When the 49ers seemed about to score the winning touchdown on Sunday, he targeted Crabtree again, even though he was covered by Richard Sherman, everybody's choice as the best cornerback in the league. Sherman got a hand on the pass and linebacker Malcolm Smith caught it for an interception. Game over.
Targeting Crabtree when he was covered by Sherman was stupid, because Kaepernick had two other very good targets, Anquan Boldin and Vernon Davis. Readers have assured me Kaepernick is smart but intelligence doesn't mean anything if you're too stubborn to recognize reality.
Of course, Harbaugh can be very stubborn, too. He's seeking an extension on his contract and a raise, which he should get, so it will be interesting to see if he'll continue to put his faith in Kaepernick or whether he'll try to get GM Trent Baalke to look for another quarterback in the draft. Harbaugh and Baalke don't like each other but that wouldn't stop Baalke from doing what's best for the team.
One reason for Harbaugh's success is that he knows how to put together a strong staff. That starts with the coordinators, Greg Roman for the offense and Vic Fangio for the defense.
With pro teams, the assistants do the coaching and the head coach sets the tone for the team. That started with the New York Giants under Jim Lee Howell in the '50s. Of course, he had Vince Lombardi running the offense and Tom Landry running the defense.
Roman and Fangio are not quite in that class but they're both very good. I've seen criticism of Roman's playcalling but I don't agree. I seldom make specific criticisms of playcalling because it's difficult to know what would work when you don't know what defenses a team is facing. There are some obvious exceptions. One recent one was Hue Jackson when he was with the Raiders and called passes from punt formation, which everybody in the stadium knew what was coming.
Roman has been good at strategies which are unexpected. Having Kaepernick run in the first half Sunday was an example of that. Fangio seems to have a knack of calling blitzes at just the right moment – and with enough variety to keep from being predictable. That was one reason the Niners were able to put so much pressure on Wilson.
Both coaches have been mentioned in connection with open head coaching positions. My impression is that Fangio is not interested in moving up but Roman probably would be. The 49ers success has limited other teams from approaching him but that won't last forever.
Apparently, the Cleveland Browns are also interested in defensive line coach Jim Tomsula. Cleveland's general manager is Michael Lombardi, who worked for the Raiders when Harbaugh was an assistant there. I was impressed by Lombardi, a good source as long as I didn't quote him. Al Davis never wanted to share the spotlight, though he talked to the media only at well-scripted news conferences. (For a time, he also talked to the Oakland Tribune's Monte Poole but, as Monte told me when we were both on the Comcast sports show, when he had a mild criticism of Davis, that relationship ended.)
A READER chided me for not writing about the 49ers upcoming game last week. I told him I'd done that in the Examiner, but the fact is that I'm a different writer now than I was when I was a columnist for The Chronicle. Then, I had excellent contacts and interaction with coaches and players that gave me special insights. I lack that now but my years of experience enable me to evaluate players, like Kaepernick, as younger writers cannot – or will not. But, there was nothing to evaluate last week, beyond what I wrote for the Examiner. And, you couldn't pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV without being overwhelmed by news about the game. I had no desire to contribute to that overkill.
MOST OVERDONE story of the week: Richard Sherman's blast at Michael Crabtree to sideline reporter Erin Andrews. Forty-Niner linebacker Ahmad Brooks had the most sensible comment: "He was just hyped up, man. He was excited. That's the nature of a competitor."
Exactly. After talking to coach Pete Carroll, Sherman apologized for his comments the next day. He can be a hothead but that's part of what makes him a great player.
WHY I DON'T listen to radio sports talk shows: A reader tells me that Larry Krueger defended Roman's playcalling on Monday, then called for his firing on Tuesday.
HAVE YOU bought your tickets to the Super Bowl yet? Only $3,000. Of course, if you wait until game time, when it's freezing cold in New Jersey, they'll be cheaper. The only relatively good news is that the snow is hitting that area this week instead of next.
This is all a far cry from the start of the Super Bowl, when the plan was to have it in warm weather cities. The first one was in Los Angeles, the second in Miami and then New Orleans got into the mix. Even New Orleans can be cold at that time of year. I covered one Super Bowl there at open-air Tulane Stadium when it was 43 degrees. I couldn't type my story, so I had to go back to the hotel and finish it in my hotel room. But now, they have a dome, which would make it a perfect Super Bowl site.
A JUDGE halted the proceedings to settle a suit brought by former players against the NFL for its gross failure to protect former players against post-career problems because he thought the money wouldn't be enough when more players bring suits against the league.
Apparently, the message hasn't gotten through to NFL commissioner Roger Goodall, who now wants to add two more teams to the playoff schedule. And, of course, the Thursday night games are a big hit with the networks bidding for them, though they're the worst news for players. It takes players a week to recover from Sunday games, those who aren't knocked out by injuries, and playing in Thursday night games increases the possibility of injuries. They're no bargain for discerning fans, either, because they're hardly the best the NFL has to offer.
But, they bring in more money, and that's all the owners care about. Never forget that an NFL commissioner is doing what the owners want.
MEANWHILE, THE possibility that football will become the ultimate TV game is coming closer and closer. Even some playoff games didn't sell out this year, though that was obviously not a problem in Seattle.
Ticket prices to pay for new stadiums are going through the roof; those 49ers fans who are upset about the team moving to a stadium in Santa Clara should check out those ticket prices. They wouldn't be going to games if the new stadium had been built at Candlestick, because the ticket prices would have been the same.
Meanwhile, the TV technology has improved immensely. When I go to a game in person, I can see TV replays in the press box, but fans can't, so there's no question they can see much more of the game on TV.
Now, the NFL wants to encourage teams to build stadiums, so the new Giants/Jets stadium gets this game, the 49ers new stadium in Santa Clara gets the second. It's too bad the New Jersey stadium wasn't domed but I guess the Giants and Jets didn't have enough money to do that. (Cue laugh track).
It makes no difference to me because I haven't been to a Super Bowl since 1995 but I think it's ridiculous to play the biggest game in American sports, one which is televised wordwide, at stadiums where the weather can be awful.
FOR THE postseason games, the NFL selects the best individual officials during the year and puts them together in teams. But, they've never worked together before.
I think this is a mistake, and the officiating in the postseason games has proven that. I believe it would be much better to select the best crews and let them work the games.
READY FOR some college basketball? The Cal Bears are off to a surprising 5-0 start in Pac-12 play and go south this week for games against USC and UCLA. Stanford will play the same two teams in reverse order.
Cal's start is surprising because they were rated as a middle of the conference team in media predictions before the start of the season, but I'm never surprised when a Mike Montgomery team does well. When he was at Stanford, I thought he was the best college coach I'd seen up close since Pete Newell. Nothing he's done at Cal has changed my opinion.
When he left Stanford to coach the Warriors, though, he was a bust, as I'd predicted. The only similarity between the college and pro sports is the basketball they use. The college game is much more diverse – and enjoyable, to me – and the players listen to their coach, because they want to keep their scholarships. There's one exception to that rule: The one-and-out players who are there only until they're old enough to play in the NBA.
One point Montgomery always makes: Players have designated roles. As he told me one time when he was at Stanford, "This is not an equal opportunity offense." With the Collins twins, for instance, Jarron was the shooter, Jason was the rebounder and defender. Another point: Those who practice well and carry that into games get more minutes.
Montgomery's preferred style of play is to pound the ball inside to big men, but he's also been able to adjust his style when he's had guards throwing in three-pointers.
He was lost with the Warriors, though, because the pro game is much more individualistic, and no coach is going to change a player's style. Montgomery also had problems when he scheduled morning workouts on the road. As one former player told me, "After games on the road, players go looking for women. The last thing they want is to have to get up early the next morning."
Typically, the most successful NBA coaches have been former players. Mark Jackson is like that with the Warriors. He suggests things to his players but otherwise, acts as a cheerleader. With few exceptions – Phil Jackson being the most obvious – that's how pro coaches work
Now, though, Montgomery is back in his milieu. He has the Bears playing well, even without prized freshman Jahari Bird, who has missed the last four games with an ankle injury, the Bears have prospered. It's a long season but it appears Cal is headed for the NCAA tournament at season's end.
Stanford? They've looked good at times but I have little faith in coach Johnny Dawkins, a great player and good recruiter but….
OH, DARN, I got all this way and didn't even mention the Mavericks surfing. Terrible oversight.
What do YOU think? Let me know!

Nelson Mandela, one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, passed away yesterday, December 5. He was 95 years old.
|This photo by thierry ehrmann is available at under a  Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0
In the words of US President Barack Obama:
"I am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from Nelson Mandela's life. And like so many around the globe, I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set."
Nelson Mandela was many things. He was an ex-boxer, a lawyer, a prisoner; before he finally became South America's first black president.
Speaking about the long time he served as a political prisoner, he is quoted as saying:
"People tend to measure themselves by external accomplishments, but jail allows a person to focus on internal ones; such as honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, generosity and an absence of variety. You learn to look into yourself."
Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid. "Apartheid" was a social policy that involved the political, economic, and legal discrimination against people who are not Whites. Because of his principles, Nelson Mandela suffered. He was imprisoned for 27 years and was known only as Prisoner No. 46664 among common criminals.
But when he emerged from prison in 1990, he was a shining vision of positivity and forgiveness. He was smiling and waving to the great crowds who cheered him. Afterwards, he even had lunch with the prosecutor who sent him to jail.
He was seen by many as an icon and the father of South American democracy. Many South Africans called him "Madiba," which loosely translates to "Father of a Nation."
If you'd like to know one of Nelson Mandela's favorite poems, just click the link below. He wrote the poem on a scrap of paper in his prison cell and got inspiration from it through the many years he stayed in jail.
It's a very good and powerful poem from which you yourself can gain motivation:

Hierarchical Reductionism
Previous Entry :: Next Entry
Read/Post Comments (1)
Jonah Lehrer talks about his op-ed in the LA Times regarding the limits of reductionism.
I commented on his blog, but I thought I'd post about it here as well.
Early on he says:
First of all, reductionism isn't just a triumph in neuroscience, it's been wildly successful as the primary scientific approach to understanding the universe. But he mischaracterizes the concept.
The approach is not to study the most basic parts of a complicated object. The idea is to explain how things work at a given level of complexity in terms of the interactions going on at an appropriate level of complexity just below the current one.
For example, if car mechanics showed up for a class on engine repair, it would be more than a bit silly to try to explain the operation of the engine in terms of the interaction of atoms. The appropriate level of description is in terms of parts (like pistons and spark plugs) whose interactions describe phenomena at the next level. Richard Dawkins called this "hierarchical reductionism."
Lehrer makes the mistake of confusing extreme reductionism with hierarchical reductionism, here in the case of music:
The problem is, this is a straw man. Yes, if you focus on only one, very low level of description, you're going to be leaving out a lot of important interactions and dynamics, but that just isn't the way things are being carried out.
Lehrer's op-ed sounds like an admonishment to researchers who study the brain and mind. He makes it sound like they're drilling down to the level of synapses and neurotransmitters and missing the forest for the trees. But I'm in an interdisciplinary department where people look at issues of cognition from different angles, at various levels of description. I would agree that we tend to have a low of very low-level, and high-level data. The high-level data comes from the multitude of psychological and linguistic research. If anything, I would argue that we need more theories at intermediate levels of description, to bridge the gap.

All BPA PBeM events concluding after WBC 2002 will be part of the Annual Caesar Award for BPA's Competitor of the Year. See the Caesar Award page for details. Therefore, all PBeM GMs are required to submit a list of the top six places at the end of the competition.
For those games where places beyond second are not customarily assigned and playoff rounds to decide such are not envisioned or practical, GMs can simply use the common tie-breaker method of awarding the next place to the last player defeated by the eventual winner or runner-up.
Example: A two-player, single elimination tournament -
Final: Al won by beating Bob.
Semi-Final: Al beat Chuck. Bob beat Don.
Quarter final: Al beat Ed. Bob beat Fred. Chuck beat George. Don beat Hal.
Places: Al, Bob, Chuck, Don, Ed, and Fred in that order.
Before starting any new BPA PBeM tournament always submit a full list of players complete with their email addresses to email@example.com at least a week before the event starts to verify their BPA membership. Do not assume that just because you've stated repeatedly that the event is for BPA members only that all players are indeed BPA members.
When contemplating a new event start, always prepare your website in advance with all rules pertaining to the event and notify BPA of your intended starting date. Allow at least ten weeks from that point before your event start to allow BPA to inspect your web page, list your event on their calendar and announce it twice in upcoming email newsletters.
Lastly, stress in advance the expected response time required of players to participate and what timing mechanisms will be used and the consequences for failing to meet those deadlines. This is especially vital in multi-player games where a player on vacation delays numerous opponents - not just one. Multi-player games are especially vulnerable to player attrition so have a plan in place about what happens to abandoned positions when someone drops out or fails to keep up with the announced game pace.

More Online Shoppers Reading Reviews before Purchasing
By James Foster
It looks like the recent economic crisis changed online shoppers' mindsets about how to shop, where to shop and what to purchase. According to a survey from PowerReviews, online shoppers are spending more time on reading reviews before purchases these days. 64 Percent of shoppers say they spend at least 10 minutes reading product reviews before making a purchase, up from 50 percent in 2007. The same report stated that 33 percent of shoppers spend half an hour or more on reviews, up from 18 percent in 2007. These statistics clearly show the importance of online reviews.
Advantages of monitoring online reviews
Online reviews are valued features and play a key role in influencing the customer's buying decision. Online reviews are sought after by customers using Internet at every stage of buying process, as they offer existing customer experiences on models, services, policies etc. It is important to include online reviews and testimonials in websites as they help in retaining the existing customers and builds initial trust among potential clients. Online reviews positively impact the sales by increasing the confidence among both existing and potential customers.
Potential customers perceive online reviews as authentic and genuine opinions from other customers and feel that they are receiving accurate information. Online reviews are an effective way for online retailers to communicate with customers. A good number of positive reviews on websites mentioning satisfactory experiences of customers are likely to instill confidence among potential customers. The potential customer feels more comfortable and satisfied after reading a comprehensive evaluation of the product from a large number of customers.
Can alter consideration set
The customers usually shortlist a set of brands/companies that they will focus on to buy, called as consideration set. The customer generated content like product or website ratings and reviews, consumer ratings and reviews can determine whether a brand is included in the consideration set of online shoppers. The information in customer's ratings and reviews can buying decision. Also, positive reviews improve the attitude of customers towards products. Online reviews help your products find a place in consumers' consideration set.
The online reviews and testimonials at online retailing website provide reassurance to the new customers that the product stands for professionalism, quality, credibility, and security. Reviews by previous customers reassure the potential customers that it is safe to deal. Online reviews also increase conversion rates as they increase trust and confidence among first time visitors. Existing and new customers will confide the online retailer which eventually increase sales.
Social media sites yet to capture consumer trust
The PowerReviews survey also shows that social media sites, including Facebook are yet to capture consumer trust. The top three destinations for reviews were general retailer web sites (65 percent), followed by brand manufacturer sites (58 percent), Amazon.com (53 percent), review sites (37 percent), specialty print publications (27 percent) and specialty or enthusiast sites (15 percent). Only 6 percent of survey respondents said that social media sites were their top destination for reviews.
Online reviews are built based on online customer service also. Since shoppers place a high value on customer service, positive reviews will come for better customer service. A survey conducted by Stella Service finds that e-commerce sites known for good customer service have more loyal online customers. This year consumers in US on average are willing to spend 9.7 percent more for great customer service. Whereas online shoppers are willing to pay 10.7 percent, even higher premium for good customer service.
As more review content is available on the internet, shoppers find it easily and read. They are showing interest in finding information that is useful for them. So we can say that online reviews will impact customer buying behavior.

Race to 250 Kettlebell Workout "Fun"isher
Next Post
Hey there! It's been a couple of weeks but I've finally got a new finisher for you to check out. I've had a few weekends of travel and posting just flat out slipped my mind. A no-no, I know, but I promise I will make it up to you with some pretty kick ass workouts in the next few weeks.
September was a month that contained a buttload swings, and today's workout was one of my favorites from that month. Fittingly it also contains a buttload of swings itself for a single workout and some burpees for rest. Yes, you heard that right. Burpees will feel like rest. We're doing that many swings. Cool, right? I thought so. Anywho, here is the layout for the workout:
For time:
A) 2H KB swings @ 62 x 250
B) Burpee x 2, 4, 6…
The goal is to do 250 swings in as few sets as possible. There is an ascending burpee "penalty" each time the kettlebell is set down (2 the first time, 4 the second, etc.)
Check out a more detailed explanation and a little demo in the video below:
This was a challenge for sure, and it took me seven sets, 46 penalty burpees, and 12:50 to complete. How did you fare? Let me know in the comments below

The hour between the dog and wolf: Risk-taking, gut feelings and the biology of boom or bust
John Coates (HarperCollins, 2012) $34.95
Fight or flight. That pretty much describes this book. Okay, so there are a few more words – 310 pages of words in fact. But you wade a long way through those pages to find anything much more insightful.
Coates was a trader on Wall Street and is now a research fellow at the University of Cambridge. He's clearly a brain, with balls, but not with an in-built edit function. The book is too long.
It doesn't help that Coates tries to make the neuroscience come alive with a fictitious story of two traders, Logan and Scott and their adventures in bond markets. The anecdote is overdrawn and simply gets in the way of the real stuff, which is the physiology of risk.
What does the science show? That decisions in high risk environments are highly influenced by the physiology of the risk taker. The idea of the objective decision maker is thoroughly trashed, as Coates shows that the brain is constantly interpreting signals to and from the body that influence our sense of safety, enthusiasm, confidence and negativity.
One curious discovery is that testosterone can inflate a bullish outlook, so one way to counter irrational exuberance is to have more women on the trading floor. Another insight is that long hours are not the problem we think they are: tediousness is. Researchers have found that physical fatigue can be treated with a simple change of task – great news for employers!
Conversely, researchers have also found that the highest level of stress is caused by the unknown, be it unexpected such as a death or a divorce, or planned such as a wedding or new job. Advice for handling unknowns is to create touchstones – familiar faces, routines or environments.
One of the best insights comes on page 244 and has more to do with maths than science. The high-risk, high-testosterone job of trading is the preserve of young men. Typically women are shouted down and older men are burnt out. But employment among traders "should be more akin to building a career than elbowing for room at the roulette wheel," he writes. This is the result of bonus schemes that reward short-term success and punish anyone with a long-term view.
Coates didn't need a degree in neuroscience to figure that one out.

cohen and i will be saying our goodbyes to chris this weekend. he'll be moving, looking for a place we can have a short term lease at and starting his new job, while cohen and i stay behind and get some things finalized here at home. chris and i have spent nearly a year of our marriage apart, so you'd think i would be used to this short term set up, but this will be the first time living apart since having cohen. it makes me sad. for myself, but mostly for cohen and chris who spend most evenings glued at the hip. it's going to be a big change for them both. thankfully, chris will only be a two hour drive away so we plan on being together every weekend, but it will still be hard. we don't know how long we'll live this way, but we're hoping to get our plan of action settled within the next thirty days. i'll be back tuesday to let you know how our goodbyes went, but my posts may be sporadic for the next little while as i figure out how to be a semi-single mama. happy friday! {monica}

How sad! :-( I remember when my dad had to work in another state for a few months when I was little (coming home on weekends)..leaving me and my mom in the same situation your in right now w/Cohen..so I can 'kinda' relate.

Aww, thinking of you guys!! I hope the thirty days (or less!) goes by quickly, and results in a good set up for you post-move. Xo, KatieReplyDelete
Wow! Praying that things go smoothly and that you don't have to be apart too long. :)ReplyDelete

Ivermectin is a good ear-mite treatment for cats that is often prescribed by veterinarians. The treatment is administered as a single subcutaneous injection or as topical drops placed inside the ear. Nolvamite, Mitaclear and Tresaderm are also good ear-mite treatments that veterinarians prescribe for cats, although each medication has a specific dosage and frequency of use. Ear mites are also treated with Selamectin or lime-sulfur dips.Continue Reading
The instructions that detail the dosage and frequency of use for medications must be followed carefully, and the entire course of treatment must be completed for any ear-mite treatment that is prescribed by a veterinarian. If the medication is not used as prescribed, the cat may become infected again. The medications that are prescribed are typically given as an injection underneath the skin, which is performed by the veterinarian, or as topical drops that are placed inside the ears for a specific period of time.
There are also home remedies that are used to treat ear mites in cats. First, clean the inside of the cat's ear canal using an ear-cleaning solution, almond oil or olive oil. Place an ear miticide that contains the insecticide pyrethrins inside the ear, and massage the drops in well. Wipe away any excess medication and repeat the treatment every day until the ear mites are gone.
Ear mites often escape from the ear canal during treatment and crawl into the cat's fur. Prevent reinfestation by treating the cat's fur with a product that kills fleas regularly. Pay special attention to the cat's tail since most cats sleep with it curled up next to their ear. A cat's tail provides a perfect escape route for ear mites. Ear mites that are left untreated often lead to skin disease or ear infections.Learn more about Cats

We Canadians who are big readers have things good. We're right next to the USA so get most books published in the States as they're published, without having to wait before they come out in our country. We get certain books from elsewhere in the world long before those in the USA (thinking of Catherine Webb's Horatio Lyle books here among others), plus we have some positively fabulous Canadian authors ourselves.
One of those many talented authors is Maggie L. Wood, author of the Mistolear trilogy. Willow is just an ordinary 14-year-old girl in our world when the first book (The Princess Pawn) starts out, but soon is brought to Mistolear – the land that she learns she is originally from. What Willow soon realizes is that it's up to her to save this realm she didn't know really existed, as well as a royal family she didn't know she had, from an evil elf who has enchanted Mistolear into a magical chess game.
In The Princess Mage, Willow is again playing games with the elves – but this time on their turf. For breaking one of the rules to the Elf Council, Willow is forced to into a game with the Goblin King, if it can be called a game when not everyone participates freely of their own will. It is, once again, up to Willow to keep Mistolear safe from the unfair games of the elves.
Maggie is currently working on The Princess Heir, the third book in the trilogy.
For the O' Canada One Stop World Tour, Maggie has allowed me the opportunity of interviewing her.
Where did you get your inspiration for your trilogy?
The inspiration for the first book "The Princess Pawn" came to me while looking at an "Eyewitness" book on knights. I came across pictures of the Isle of Lewis chess set (where the pieces are carved to represent actual chessmen) and was just mesmerized by each piece's wide-open eyes. I couldn't seem to look away and kept returning to the picture to study it. I kept thinking the pieces' eyes looked alive and next thing I knew I was playing the what-if game. What if someone was playing a magical chess game? What if people could get trapped inside the pieces? What if … What if … Next thing I was writing a book.
Did you have an idea of where each of the books was going before you started writing the trilogy, or have you just been letting your story take you where it will?
A little bit of both, actually. I always start out with an idea of where I want the story to go, but it's usually pretty vague. For instance, in the second book "The Princess Mage," I knew I wanted Willow to go to the faerie world of Clarion, but until I started writing the story, it was a mystery what would happen to her there. For me, letting the story take you where it will is one of the greatest pleasures of writing. Every day the excitement is tense and fresh, because it feels as though I'm living the adventure right there with my characters. (Of course, the pot load of green tea could have something to do with it too. Heh. Heh.)
Any word on the progress of the third book? Can you give us any hints as to what is happening in this installment?
I'm in the home stretch of "The Princess Heir," as I'm starting to see glimpses of how it will end. Hints to what's happening? Hmm. Well, this book is definitely different than the first two. The conflict in the first two books has been more outside Willow in the form of magical games, elves, goblins, etc. This third book, though, the conflict is more within than without, with Willow having to battle a terrible disease that makes her a pariah on Mistolear and mentally unhinges her. The disease, though, ends up being the key to how she can fight the Balance. But, it also becomes a light that shows Willow the inequality of power on Mistolear that, in being a protected princess, she has not noticed before. Honestly, I'm very excited to see how it's all going to end. I have vague pictures of it, and I think it's going to be satisfying.
If you could spend the afternoon with any one of your characters, which one would it be and what would you do?
What an interesting question! Who would I want to spend an afternoon with and what would we do? Hmm. Well, of course, I love Willow and Brand, but I feel like I already know so much about them. I think I would spend time with a lesser known character. I'm really intrigued by the faerie twins Dacia and Theon. There's so much back story with them concerning their nefarious brother Nezeral that I would like to know more about. Yep, I think I'd take them both to a Starbucks and sit and chat about their sibling rivalries.
After this trilogy is done, what do you have planned as far as other books go?
Once this book is done, I am all set to start a new series. My two favourite genres are fantasy and historical, and this time I'd like to write a story that lets me explore both these passions. So think lush Italian Renaissance backdrop. Think brooding artists and powerful Medicis. Throw him some romance and a pinch of religious fervor. Then drop in a gypsy/angel girl and, voila, a recipe for an I-can't-wait-to-write-this-book idea!
Did you always know you wanted to be a writer? And not just any kind of writer, but specifically a fantasy writer?
As a kid, I wanted to be a comic book artist. I drew and wrote my own comics all the time, but the art to me was always more important than the words. It wasn't until I was 28 that I knew the words were going to be more important. My stepson and I liked to play/read the "Fighting Fantasy" game book series, which is sort of like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" where all the paragraphs are mixed up in the story/game. After playing about 40 of the game books, the thought just struck like lightning that *I* could write one these. And that's exactly what I set out to do. So the first two books I wrote were game books that never got published. But a couple of editors said they liked my writing and if I wrote a 'regular' fantasy they would take a look. Oddly enough, though, the first novel I tried to write was a middle grade murder mystery, as, at the time, fantasy was not a very popular genre for most Canadian publishers, and I thought I'd have a better chance at getting published if I wrote more to what the publishers wanted. This, of course, did not work out at all, as I have no passion for murder mysteries. So, when that novel garnered enough rejections, I decided to write what I love best, which is fantasy, and "The Princess Pawn" was born.
Which authors have been the greatest influence on your writing?
Content-wise and genre-wise, I would say my biggest influences would have to be fairy tales and Sword and Sorcery comic books. Both these story mediums enthralled me as a child and seeded my love for reading fantasy-adventure type books. Style-wise my greatest influences would have to be contemporary writers. I remember when I first started to write seriously (with an eye to being published), the books I wanted to emulate were written by Canadian YA authors like Kit Pearson's "A Handful of Time;" Welwyn Wilton Katz's "The Third Magic;" Margaret Buffie's "Who is Frances Rain;" and Martine Leavitt's "The Dragon's Tapestry." I loved the immediacy and the realism of the main characters' voices and the thrill of their adventures. For some reason, I don't remember regular novels as being that exciting or as relevant to my own experience when I was growing up, which may be why I chose to read comic books more so than novels. But when I read those YA books, I knew that *that* was how I wanted to write.
And because this interview is in honour of the One Stop World Tour, it would seem silly to have it without a few questions about Canada. How do you think being a Canadian and living in Canada has had an effect on your writing?
Being Canadian hasn't really affected my writing (yet). I think it's because of the fantasy aspect. I actually avoid mentioning specific locations in my books, as I feel Willow could be any girl in North America and not just a Canadian girl. And it looks like my next books won't have any Canadian content either. Maybe because I'm so used to living in such a wonderful country, I'm not as eager to write about it. Instead it makes me curious to explore others that may not be so wonderful. Hmm. Maybe being Canadian has affected my writing after all.
Why do you think, when we in Canada get so much exposure to American authors, is it so much harder for Canadian authors to penetrate the US market?
Numbers. The fact of the matter is that American authors and the American population in general so outnumber us that we're like little sharp needles in vast haystacks. The Canadian authors that penetrate the U.S. market have American agents and sell simultaneously to American and Canadian publishers. But even that's no guarantee of success. They still have to write books with broad marketing appeal, and, for a lot of writers that means taking out or diminishing their Canadian content. I'm not sure why this is so, as the American YA market seems to like other country's stories (Australian and British spring to mind) but not so much Canadian stories. The only YA exception I can think of off the top of my head is Susan Juby's "Alice, I Think" books, which, despite their *so* Canadian Smithers, B.C. location did quite well in the States.
Any other awesome Canadian authors you recommend us to read?
There's so many! I love, of course, Susan Juby. I love Kenneth Oppel, Barbara Haworth-Attard, Martine Leavitt, Janet McNaughton, Karleen Bradford, Arthur Slade, Alyxandra Harvey-Fitzhenry, Carrie Mac, Richard Scrimger and Tim Wynne-Jones to name a few. I know there are a lot more too. Those are just the ones I can see on my book shelf at the moment.

The Charlotte Bobcats acquired DeSagana Diop from the Dallas Mavericks for G Matt Carroll and F Ryan Hollins.
The Bobcats give up a nice 3 point shooter in Carroll, and a young, unproven Hollins for Diop. Diop's career numbers (courtesy of the Bobcats PR Staff):
"The 7-0 Diop has appeared in 468 career NBA games spread between Cleveland, New Jersey and Dallas. He has career averages of 2.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks, while shooting .430 from the field. In 34 games with the Mavericks this season he averaged 1.6 points and 3.5 rebounds in 13.3 minutes."
So in 13 minutes, he didn't average a basket, and got an average of 3 rebounds per game. I ask, huh? Sure, the guy is 7 feet tall, but 7 feet tall, averaging 3 boards per game isn't what you would call a "difference maker."
Carroll and Hollins are 2 great guys. I wish them both well in their careers. Both players were always great with the media, always had a smile during practice, and a joke or 2 if you needled them enough. I can see why Carroll could be moved--he has value to a team looking for a 3 point shooter. He just couldn't get enough minutes under Larry Brown to ever get into a rhythm. Maybe he'll find that in Dallas.
Hollins is still young, has springs for legs, and I think, once he learns the NBA game, he'll be fine.
The Bobcats may have wanted to move G Raymond Felton, and still may, but DJ Augustin is banged up with an abdominal injury, so Felton is invaluable at this moment.
Charlotte hosts Portland on Saturday night at Time Warner Cable Arena.

VitaWomen's Formula helps women to balance the hormones at any age. VitaWomen's Formula helps with PMS, menopause relief and perimenopause relief without synthetic hormones or bioidentical hormones. The whole food vitamin formula helps to manage hormonal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, heart palpitations, nervous tension and weight gain due to hormonal imbalance. VitaWomen's whole food supplement is useful for natural anxiety and depression treatment, polycystic ovary syndrome, PCOS and low fertility treatment.
Natural hrt or hormone replacement therapy is a natural approach to treating hormonally related problems with various natural supplements. This can include herbs for menopause, bio identical hormones, menopause supplements etc. VitaWomen's Formula is a special blend of hormone balancing herbal medicines taken in a capsule. VitaWomen's Formula can be used as a natural hormone replacement therapy to address any female hormonal concern, including: PMS, endometriosis, infertility, PCOS, irregular periods, painful periods, hormonal headaches, perimenopause, menopause, post menopause.
Menopausal symptoms can be so debilitating for so many women, that they become clinically depressed and lose their zest for life. This is totally unnecessary suffering and thankfully there are all natural menopause supplements from VitaTree. VitaWomen's Formula from VitaTree Nutritionals is an all-natural hormone replacement therapy (hrt) supplement that helps alleviate the symptoms associated with menopause. Night sweats, hot flashes, insomnia, irritability, vaginal dryness, loss of libido can all be eradicated with easy to take VitaWomen's Formula. It also helps with nervous tension and anxiety and PMS symptoms for the younger girls and women.
PMS, or premenstrual syndrome symptoms can range from a mild irritability and irritation before your cycle, to an extreme full disturbance in the entire system. Dr. Bowring has found in her naturopathic practice over the years that PMS symptoms often arise from an imbalance in progesterone and estrogen levels, usually the estrogen being relatively higher than progesterone. This estrogen excess is the cause for many PMS symptoms, including breast tenderness, irritability, swelling and bloating, fatigue, nervousness and emotional instability.
The causes for this relative increase in the estrogen levels may include a lack of fiber in the diet which slows the excretion of estrogens via the bowels, thus estrogen recycles in the body, causing it to be dominant. Another cause may be exposure to xenoestrogens, toxic estrogen-like chemicals in the environment and food chain. Common xenoestrogens are found in non-organic poultry and dairy products, plastics, and bleach.
Dr. Bowring created a natural pms relief supplement called VitaWomen's Formula to address the symptoms of PMS quickly and efficiently. The VitaWomen's Formula helps to balance the hormones, and works differently in every woman's body, because we are not all created equal. The VitaWomen's formula is unique in that it can work with your hormonal system and balance out the estrogen, progesterone and cortisol, the stress hormone. VitaWomen's Formula helps to block the absorption of the xenoestrogens from the environment, therefore improving the symptoms of PMS.
Fertility problems can be a sign of imbalance in both partners' bodies. We usually attribute toxicity and nutrient deficiency, as well as hormonal imbalances as the cause for most fertility problems. Dr. Bowring always recommends that both partners seek natural fertility treatments to address the problems at hand.
There are a number of fertility supplements on the market that do different things. At VitaTree, we see fertility issues as multi-factorial and often need more than one supplement to cover the bases. The following is the best combination that we have found most successful with addressing infertility problems:
VitaWomen's Formula- helps to balance the hormones, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, prolactin, FSH and LH.
VitaDetox - Dr. Bowring recommends that all women and their partners use the VitaDetox as a full body detox for at least 3 months prior to conception (whether there are fertility problems or not) to cleanse the internal organs of toxins. This ensures a healthier pregnancy and a healthier baby.
VitaFruits and VitaVeggies- whole food vitamins that help supply the essential daily nutrients, phytochemicals, enzymes, anti-oxidants, minerals and vitamins from nature's best fruits and vegetables.
VitaFish Oil- VitaFish™ Oil is an all-natural omega 3 supplement that supplies the essential fatty acids DHA and EPA, important for brain, cardiovascular, joint and cellular health. The important omega 3 supplement DHA is essential for the brain and spinal cord development of the baby, so the mother needs to load up on this nutrient, before, during and after pregnancy.
VitaTree Probiotics-VitaTree® Probiotics is unique in the world of probiotics supplements in that it contains a blend of friendly flora that normally live in the human digestive tract. These friendly flora, or probiotics are also called "good bacteria" and ensure the proper degradation of hormones in the digestive tract.
VitaTree Whole Food Calcium- supplies the essential mineral calcium, from a whole food source, coral calcium. It is considered the best coral calcium supplement because it also contains 69 trace minerals required for cellular function.
PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome is a complex problem for a large number of women. PCOS can be reversed naturally if the body is given the right tools to do so. Detoxification and hormonal balance are key. VitaDetox and VitaWomen's Formula have been proven to help as a PCOS natural treatment. Balancing insulin levels is also very important in PCOS, and should be managed by diet and exercise. VitaFruits and VitaVeggies help balance insulin levels as well as VitaFish Oil.

I started using vita women 1 year ago and I have to say, my life is much better, do not have hot flash's anymore. love the product.
I have been taking vitaWomen for 6 months and it is helping me with my hot flashes. Highly recommend it.
This is the only type of vitamin I've tried in my 25 years which doesn't kick back on me or cause any sort of digestive issue or overload. It's well worth the higher price, IMO.
I've tried a number of women's vitamins but none have supplied the sense of well-being and just plain feeling-good that this vitamin does. No stomach upset, whether I take it with food or not and that was important to me. I feel like I'm doing my body "good" with this vitamin and can readily recommend it to others.
VitaWomen's™ Formula is a unique combination of four herbal medicines including: Maca, Black Cohosh, Chasteberry and Motherwort.

This is a beautiful tree lined course. It feels much more friendly and private than the corporate "crystal springs" courses right up the road. Every hole is a challenge, but it's fair. Must keep the ball straight. Plenty of tee boxes for every level of golfer. Rangers are friendly and helpful. Bar was cozy and good. $3 yuenglings!
This is a fun course to play. I would play it more often if it where closer. It is a 60 min. Ride. Also they give a a nice senior citizen discount ( 60 and over)

Just something to think about whenever ISIS finally does attack U.S. soil. Rather than try to do something about it early on, the U.S. doused gasoline on the flames, thus spilling over into Iraq and now you got ISIS chapters growing in Egypt, Libya, Lebanon, Yemen, Nigeria and Afghanistan.
Plus, there's a major humanitarian crisis of refugees flooding into Europe. Thanks to the Paris attacks, people living there are now paranoid about all those refugees being undercover ISIS fighters. Yea people fleeing from those who wanna kill them, and then turn around to kill the ppl willing to give them sanctuary?! Yea that makes lots of sense….

From the self-checkout aisle of the grocery store to the sports section of the newspaper, robots and computer software are increasingly taking the place of humans in the workforce. Silicon Valley executive Martin Ford says that robots, once thought of as a threat to only manufacturing jobs, are poised to replace humans as teachers, journalists, lawyers and others in the service sector.
"There's already a hardware store [in California] that has a customer service robot that, for example, is capable of leading customers to the proper place on the shelves in order to find an item," Ford tells Fresh Air's Dave Davies.
In his new book, Rise of the Robots, Ford considers the social and economic disruption that is likely to result when educated workers can no longer find employment.

Hackers warn to release Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales if they don't get a ransom from the studio, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Bob Iger, Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Officer, didn't notify his employees of which film had been stolen. However, an anonymous source has confirmed at a meeting in New York on Monday that the stolen move was the latest movie in the adventurous franchise.
The latest part of Pirates of the Caribbean stars Johnny Depp along with Geoffrey Rush and Orlando Bloom. It was supposed to be released worldwide on May 26; it is still unknown how an early release of the movie would affect the organization.
Whose fault it is?
Disney has asked federal investigators to help with the situation. Previously a hacker and FBI agent Hector Monsegur said that "it's nearly impossible" to hunt down hackers "because you have various hackers from pretty much anywhere."
Some have wondered how a big corporation such as Disney that a strong security system has been hacked in the first place. To answer such a question, Monsegur says that it is not necessarily Disney's fault.
"All these companies like Disney, Netflix, and Discovery may have very good security teams, but you have all these vendors and small production companies which don't have great security and probably don't have the budget to focus on their own security so hackers can get in pretty easily," he explained.
Another Similar Hacking Attempt
At the beginning of this year, a hacker nicknamed as thedarkoverlord, leaked the first 10 episodes of Netflix's series Orange is the New Black, which wasn't released yet. The hacker downloaded them to a torrent site and asked for a ransom too.
According to Netflix, the hacker stole the episodes by hacking the system of "a production vendor used by several major TV studios."

Originally uploaded by vulgarcriminal.
I asked Mom one day if she would stop and let us tromp around inside one in particular. A few miles before you hit the intersection and the tavern there was a two story house long browned and bowed with age. I could never tell if anyone still lived in that house but I could see things piled up in the second story windows. I wanted to go hunt through and see what treasures had been left behind, imagining it a vacant refuge for some Gothic tragedy. Alas, I never did get to find out, since it's been torn down to make room for more plaster board domiciles for Intelites but when I think of abandoned buildings, I think of that house and wonder what it was and how it became to be that way for at least 10 years. I think I'd rather not know.
These guys share my obsession.

Footprints left by small group of adults and children are oldest discovered outside Africa
Human footprints dating to between one million and 780,000 years old have been reported on the beach of the coastal village of Happisburgh, Norfolk (pronounced 'Hazeborough'), and are the earliest-known direct evidence for the presence of humans in northern Europe. The footprints briefly emerged at low tide in May 2013, having being exposed by rough seas.
Within a fortnight, they had vanished again – but not before a team led by Nick Ashton from the British Museum had obtained plaster casts and 3d images. Continue reading
